"Change master password" window should not be resizable

noelbernie

In the preferences, you can change the master password.

Oddly, this sheet can be resized, and the things can get ugly <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_tongueout.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-P' />

can you fix this ? (low priority, but important anyway)



--- also : can you add a strong pass generator to this window ? it makes sense i think

Hi noelbernie,



Thanks for pointing that out. As my doctor would say, "If it hurts when you do that, then don't do that!" <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_bigsmile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-D' />



Seriously, though, I'll pass this along and see if we can make the "Change Master Password" sheet not resizable in a future update.



Regarding the use of the Strong Password Generator for master passwords, this is [i]very intentionally[/i] omitted. Certainly we may have selfish reasons — think of the support requests! <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' /> — but it really is for the benefit of everyone involved. The built-in Strong Password Generator is intended to create password that are, almost by their very definition, not easy to remember. You master password must be something you are able to remember. Consider [url="http://forum.agile.ws/index.php?/topic/1774-choosing-a-good-master-password/page__view__findpost__p__10902"]my post in the Choosing a Good Master Password thread[/url].



If you choose to use the Strong Password Generator, you can always copy and paste it in. The is left entirely as an exercise for the reader and you do so at your own risk. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />



Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with!
